I still have my Corgi Man from U.N.C.L.E car which when you press the thingymebob on top of the car they lean out and fire bullets; it's a bit worse for wear from my childhood, but hey, it still works.
Rest in peace David McCallum and thanks for being a childhood hero of mine.

Re: Clear and obvious errors and refs going to the screen
VAR needs to be binned as does the over analysis of every refereeing decision.
